Reasons I heard ranged from "i felt unsafe/unwelcome in the neighborhood" to "i don't need to physically be present to understand the issues."
Our multicultural counseling class had this as an optional assignment (it was something like complete 3 out of 8-10 options and this was one of them.) I'd say maybe 1/3 of people in our class made the effort. (And we had people do everything from attend a church primarily attended by another race, to churches from other faiths than their own, to drag shows.)

I feel you on this. However, student clubs (and departments) run under the auspices (i think i used that word right) of the college, so anything done reflects on the institution. Some are OK with the potential backlash, others are not. There are LOTS of stuff that happened at NYU that ruffled feathers. One of my programs as an RA was sex toy shopping. Some schools wouldnt sneeze, others would put the kibosh on it. Another RA may not feel as comfortable. My opinion: don't like it? Stay yo ass home.
My sexual dysfunction/couples/marriage and family counseling professor took us on a field trip to a sex toy store. It was educational for people who hadn't been to a physical store. I still can't see it as something an RA would do as an event, but whatever works for the school

You're right, if you don't want to see it, don't go. But also... you gotta know your crowd. Plus, there's a time and place for nakedness and multiple, authentic orgasms.
I just can't think of many places where a show involving nakedness and multiple orgasms would be legal in the first place. Also, I do feel it's a bit odd regardless.

LOL maybe you're doing it wrong.
It's k_s, of course he's doing it wrong.
